Nate just made it through his bone marrow biopsy like a champ...and though still a bit woozy, he is eating loads of food and joking around (shocking, right?)
We should have the results of the biopsy in about a week.
Nate has another day full of fun appointments and waiting rooms tomorrow. He will have a PET scan as well as a cardio echo. Later this week, some pulmonary function tests will be performed as well. The bone marrow biopsy and PET scan will help stage the cancer (if it is progressed past the currently assumed stage 2). The cardio echo and pulmonary function tests are to basically establish a baseline before treatments begin.
Please pray for patience while going from appointment to appointment. It's kinda a drag :-)
We love you all and thank you for comments/emails/texts of your support and encouragement! We can't imagine keeping a positive attitude without your help!
Thinking of you guys a lot! A friend who had cancer once told me that listening to ebooks with her husband got them through all the waiting around in doctors offices... :) love to both of you and little C! Xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteWe've got churches in Michigan and Vermont praying for you and we prayed all weekend while we were in Boston. That's three more states pulling for you so hang in there. We love you guys!
